Introduced: January 2006

Title

Titles differ between systems:

IPC: Arithmetic logic units [ALU], i.e. arrangements or devices for performing two or more of the operations covered by groups or for performing logical operations

CPC: Arithmetic logic units [ALU], i.e. arrangements or devices for performing two or more of the operations covered by groups G06F7/483 – G06F7/556 or for performing logical operations

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Methods or arrangements for processing data by operating upon the order or content of the data handled > Methods or arrangements for performing computations using exclusively denominational number representation, e.g. using binary, ternary, decimal representation > using non-contact-making devices, e.g. tube, solid state device; using unspecified devices > Arithmetic logic units [ALU], i.e. arrangements or devices for performing two or more of the operations covered by groups or for performing logical operations

CPC:

Methods or arrangements for processing data by operating upon the order or content of the data handled (logic circuits H03K19/00) > Methods or arrangements for performing computations using exclusively denominational number representation, e.g. using binary, ternary, decimal representation > using non-contact-making devices, e.g. tube, solid state device; using unspecified devices > Arithmetic logic units [ALU], i.e. arrangements or devices for performing two or more of the operations covered by groups G06F7/483 – G06F7/556 or for performing logical operations

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 2006.
